Australian Shelduck

Spotted this female Shelduck up on the tree branch.
Always find it difficult to photograph these birds as they are quite flighty and don't let you get close.

not surprised; you lot keep shooting at them with canons

Not a good angle and difficult lighting but you got the photo, and I think you've done well to make the most of the opportunity.
